I'd like to see it kept, as it can be a good teaching tool on the rules. But that's just me.
Thoughts?

All it does it serve to boost the ego's of certain people. Does anyone that posts in that thread actually telegram authors and point out the mistake to them? We all know that the boiler plate that the mods send when they yank a proposal sure as the hell doesn't, so no it is not a learning tool. It is nothing more than a point and laugh festival, that greatly contributes to the never ending hostility of this particular forum.

TET gets replaced at 500. There's no reason to stop S&I, because it's a learning and quasi-moderation tool. It's not a chat thread. It doesn't need regular archiving for posterity. I don't see any reason it can't keep chugging on, personally.

I used to, with helpful suggestions and critique, but gave that up after one too many "I know the rules its not illegal I'm just trying to make the world a better place and you're being mean so mind your own business!!!!LOL" replies, if they replied at all that is. So, putting it in S&I accompanied by amusing means of pointing out the illegalities seems to be the best option available.

Largely this. I got tired of being either told to fornicate with myself, or listening to a three day old nation rant about how I'm some CIS homophobe (insert as many tumblr acronyms as necessary/applicable) that is the problem with the world, since clearly the WA has survived all these years without this brand new player to educate is on the importance of gay rights.
I still do, if I feel the player will be receptive. A better solution would be to simply ban nations from making proposals until the capital city age. Wouldn't completely elimintate the issue but would reduce it.
As for the thread... Keep it and replace it.

Makes using puppets to submit totally impractical, which is an issue for some raider-types. And as nice as it would be for new players to have to wait, it isn't especially fair.
